I have ordered from R & L Electronics 2 times in the last month and their service is outstanding. I would place the order and would get a confirmation email and in a little while I would then get a email telling I would have my order in two days. Both times I have got my order in the two days just as they stated. Also their prices are great too. I would highly recommend them as someone to check with when you need ham equipment.

I live in Ontario Canada and I ordered from R&L back in December. Had a Hy Gain TH2 shipped to my brother in IN. It arrived 2 days after I ordered it. No hassles dealing with a different shipping address, and not my billing address.

Saved $200 on the cost of that beam by buying it there instead of here. I would do business with them again.

Years ago my late Father bought an Icom 735 from R&L. So that is how I knew about them.

If you ever get a chance to go their store, it's worth it. Definitely old school. Stuff in bins, stacked on shelves, you name it. No points for neatness....almost has a flea market feel. They have a ton of stock that you can sift through, even the boutique items like cross polarization satellite antennas, etc.

Not much elbow room, so unless you go during a slow time, be patient with the personal space deal because you won't have any.

I made an online purchase for 2 small items on Sunday evening, got an almost email response confirming may order and on Monday morning a confirmation the order was sent to the shipping dept. and within 2 hrs. after that got an email from there shipping dept. that it had shipped with a tracking # The items arrived today and the packaging was beyond expectation..... I have to give my praise to R&L for a job well done !!!!

R and L Electronics has always done right by me. They always honor their warranty new and used. The store is always stocked with parts demo equipment and I find it a inviting place to go. The Counter people at R and L electronics are always ready to help and will find the answer to any question you might have electronics related , I've had a few problems with used equipment but R and L always took care of the problem to my satisfaction. A A+ retailer.

I live in the Southeast and they are always at the Orlando Hamcation. In fact, I bought my Icom 703+ from them several years ago. Great price and friendly folks. Our daughter now lives in Dayton, so may stop sometime when in the neighborhood.

I live about 50 minutes away from R&L. When I first started doing HF, I knew nothing about what I was getting into. The folks at R&L were very patient with me and explained the HF and VHF (what I had been doing) were nothing alike. They steered me towards a used Icom IC-718 for around $400 and explained that I could return it for full credit on another radio within 30 days. About 30 days later I returned with the 718 and said I wanted a new IC-7200. They bent over backward to help me get the best deal and use Icom's rebate, while ordering the radio that would take about a week to get (they were already on order). They told me to keep the 718 until I got a chance to come in and get the IC-7200.

Here's the kicker: I talked them into letting me keep my old (made in Japan) HM-36 mic, and gave them the new (made in China) HM-36 that came with the IC-7200. I then had problems with my old microphone. They had already resold the 718 along with the mic that I had given them. They went right to the shelf and gave me a brand new HM-36 microphone and said, "a new radio should have a new mic".

Price is important in any purchase, but it has to be tempered with convenience and quality of service. After my experience, I would rather buy used equipment from someone that will be there after I take it home and find out there's a problem. These guys are great!
